“…Comparing with the Chromium (Cr) [19] or Nickel (Ni) [20,21] , which are the mostly used coating, Cu-Sn-Zn coating possesses a relatively soft hardness. In order to improve the mechanical properties and explore the application of Cu-Sn-Zn coatings, the preparation of Cu-Sn-Zn based nano-composite coatings, i.e., incorporating the second phase or other nanoparticles into coating matrix, could be a potential solution [20][21][22][23].…”

Cu-Sn-Zn coatings have been widely used in industry for their unique properties, such as good conductivity, high corrosion resistance and excellent solderability. To further improve the mechanical performance of Cu-Sn-Zn coatings, powder-enhanced method was applied in the current study and Cu-Sn-Zn-TiO2 nanocomposite coatings with different TiO2 concentration were fabricated. The microstructure of Cu-Sn-Zn-TiO2 nano-composite coatings were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The mechanical properties of coatings including microhardness and wear resistance were studied. The results indicate that the incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticle can significantly influence the properties of Cu-Sn-Zn coatings. The microhardness of Cu-Sn-Zn coating was increased to 383 HV from 330 HV with 1g/L TiO2 addition. Also, the corrosion resistance of coating was enhanced. The effects of TiO2 nanoparticle concentration on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of Cu-Sn-Zn-TiO2 nano-composite coatings were discussed.

“…Compared to the traditional method, the new method promotes a higher dispersive distribution of TiO 2 nanoparticles in the coatings as it avoids the agglomeration of TiO 2 nanoparticles. This TiO 2 -sol enhanced method has been successfully used to prepare Ni, Ag, Ni-B based coatings, etc., without reducing the performances [1][2][3][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. In our study, a similar method was applied to fabricate copper-tin-zinc (Cu-Sn-Zn, CSZ) based nanocomposite coatings.…”

“…CSZ ternary alloys and CSZ electroplating are used in many industrial sectors (or as an undercoat for other deposits) to protect the base material [27][28][29][30]. Comparing to hard coatings, such as chromium (Cr) [31] or nickel (Ni) [20,21] based coatings, the hardness and the wear resistance of the electrodeposited CSZ coatings still require further improvement for a longer service life [32]. Their mechanical performance with the TiO 2 -sol enhanced method needs to be improved.…”

Cu-Sn-Zn (CSZ) coatings are widely applied in communication devices due to their excellent performance in electrical/thermal conductivity, solderability, and corrosion resistance. Particularly, a novel TiO 2 -sol-enhanced electrodeposition method has been proposed to prepare CSZ-TiO 2 nanocomposite coatings with different volume fractions of TiO 2 -sol. A series of CSZ-TiO 2 nanocomposite coatings were prepared in the current study. The crystal phase, surface morphology, and micro-to nanostructures of sol-enhanced nanocomposite coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Based on the prior research, we studied the microhardness, surface friction behavior, and corrosion behavior of the coatings. Our results indicate that adding 12.5 mL L −1 TiO 2 -sol increased the average microhardness of CSZ coating from 325 to 421 HV and reduced the corrosion rate by 42.8%. Those results reveal that the TiO 2 -sol affected the performance of CSZ coatings depends on the volume added. Additionally, we investigated the effects of TiO 2 -sol volume fraction on the morphology, microhardness, dry sliding wear-resistant capability, and corrosion-resistant capability.
